BHP has advised that a close contact of a rail maintenance contractor at its Yandi iron ore mine in the Pilbara has also tested positive for COVID-19. All casual and close contacts of the contractor are now self-isolating at the nearby Spinifex accommodation village; casual contacts will be permitted to return to work if they return a negative PCR test, but 14 workers who are close contacts of the contractor must remain in quarantine for two weeks. Ten close contacts of a Covid-positive worker at 29Metals’ Golden Grove polymetallic mine in Western Australia are also in isolation.
